Reply #28: I wonder about Bristol's clothing.

Being new at dancing, wearing the long skirts all the time would be a hindrance. She can't really show exactly how her body is moving, and they continually have her wearing black now. Who decides the costumes?

I like her being on the show, but I was quite shocked when she was not eliminated last night.

Remember she had never danced before coming on the show and I think she does have an ability and she has greatly improved since coming onto the show.

Keeping her on the show this long, though, could have more of a negative impact on her than a positive one because of all the flack she is going to get. Imagine how awful she felt when everyone was shocked and disappointed she didn't get kicked off. The looks on the other contestants' faces, the gasp from the audience, the comments from the judges pretty much saying it was a terrible mistake.

I don't think it's all fun for her right now. But after all she's already been through with the media hopefully she's developed a thick skin and can keep trying her best and take it to the end no matter what the outcome.

Her mom's a quitter. I believe she is not. Don't blame her for not QUITTING when, for whatever reason, she has been given yet another chance.

To hang someone on the cross for simply being young and having a child out of wedlock seems kind of silly in this day and age. What percentage of people do we all know who got married BEFORE they got pregnant? ???
